Marie-Marguerite Carreaux de Rosemond

Marie-Marguerite Carreaux de Rosemond, sometimes Carraux de Rozemont (1765–1788) was a French painter.

Carreaux de Rosemond was a pupil of Adélaïde Labille-Guiard and one of nine young women whose work was remarked upon at the in 1783. She was singled out for praise by the critics alongside Labille-Guiard's other students Marie-Gabrielle Capet and Mlle. Alexandre.

In 1785, Labille-Guiard depicted Carreaux de Rosemond and Capet in her painting Self-Portrait with Two Pupils, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She may also be seen in a pen-and-ink sketch drawn by John Trumbull on a visit to Labille-Guiard's studio in 1786.

Carreaux de Rosemond married engraver Charles Clément Balvay in 1788, but she died later that same year in the galleries of the Louvre as a consequence of giving birth. Her son also died soon after.
